TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
IT is impossible to read and weigh the
facts in connection with the convic
tion of Oscar Slater in May, 1909. at
the high court in Edinburgh, without
feeling deeply dissatisfied with the pro
ceedings, and morally certain that justice
was not done. Under the circumstances
of Scotch law I am not clear how far any
i temedy exists, but it will, in my opinion,
! be a serious scandal if the man be al
i lowed upon such evidence to spend his
' life in a convict prison. The verdict
I which led to his condemnation to death,
’ was given by a jury of fifteen, who voted:
Nine for “Guilty," five for “Not proven”
one for “Not guilty."
Under English law, this division of
I opinion would naturally have given cause
for a new trial. In Scotland the man was
• condemned to death, he was only re
prieved two days before the execution,
and he is now working out a life sentence
in Peterhead convict establishment. How
far the verdict was a just one, the reader
J may judge for himself when he has pe
rused a connected story of the case.
There lived in Glasgow, in the year
1908, an old maiden lady named Miss
Marion Gilchrist. She had lived for 30
f ears in the one fiat, which was on the
first floor in 15 Queen’s terrace. The flat
above hers was vacant, and the only im
mediate neighbors were a family namell
. dams, living on the ground floor below,
tiieir house having a separate door,
which was close alongside the flat en-
■ trance.
The old lady had one servant, named
i Helen Gamble, who was a girl 21 years

Milady’s Toilet Table
(By Mme. D'Mille.)
j
"For dark and discolored patches, sal
lowness and complexion blemishes, there
is nothing better than a lotion made by
dissolving a package of mayatone in a
half pint of witch hazel. It gives a more
youthful color and smoother finish than
any face powder, and will not rub oft or
show. It keeps the skin soft and satiny.
“On every toilet table there should be a
jar of Mother's salve. You can't look your
: best when suffering, and Mother's Salve
relieves pain almost instantly. Rub on
affected part for headache, neuralgia,
rheumatism, sore muscles, bruises, stiff
neck, cold in the chest, or pains and aches
in back or joints.
"Don't catch cold washing your head
Anyhow, water dulls and deadens the
hair, and dry shampooing is preferred
To make a fine shampoo powder, just mix
4 ounces of orris root with a package of
genuine therox Sift over head, brush

THE game that he WAS to have
played up big in—went with his best
friend and WAS to have gloated on
his playing with her two blue, true
blue eyes-—went in her white furs
and the little white "toque” that is so
fetching against the black velvet of
her hair and WAS to have tucked a
white “mum” in the lacings over his
of age. This girl had been with Miss
Gilchrist for three or four years.
By all accounts Miss Gilchrist was a
most estimable person, leading a quiet
and uneventful life. She was comfortably
off, and she had one singular characteris
tic for a lady of her age and surroundings,
in that she had made a collection of jew
elry of considerable value. These jewels,
which took the form of brooches, rings,
pennants, etc., were bought at different
times, extending over a considerable
number of years, from a reputable jew
eler.
Her Jewelry.
1 lay stress upon as some wild
rumor was circulated at the time that the
old lady might herself be a criminal re
ceiver. Such an idea could not be enter
tained. She seldom wore her jewelry,
save in single pieces, and as her life was
a retired one, it is difficult to see how
any one outside a very small circle could
have known of her hoard. The value of
this treasure was about three thousand
pounds. It was a fearful joy which she
snatched from its possession, for she
more than once expressed apprehension
that she might be attacked and robbed.
Her fears had the practical result that
she attached two patent locks to her front
door, and that she arranged wflth the
Adams family underneath that in case of
alarm she would signal them by knocking
upon the floor.
It was the household practice that Gam
ble, the maid, should go out and get an
evening paper for her mistress about 7
o'clock each day. After bringing the
paper, she then usually went aut again
upon the necessary shopping. This rou
tine was followed upon the night of De
cember 21. She left her mistress seated
by the fire in the dining room, reading
a magazine. Lambie took the keys with
her, shut the fiat door, closed the hall
door downstairs, and was gone about ten
minutes upon her errand. It Is the events
of those ten minutes which form the
tragedy and the mystery which were so
soon to engage the attention of the pub
lic.
According to the girl s evidence, it was
a minute or two before 7 when she went
out. At about 7 Arthur Adams and his
two sisters were in their dining room,
immediately below the room in which
the old lad> had been left. Suddenly
they heard “a noise from above, then a
very heavy fall, and then three sharp
knocks.” They were alarmed at the
sound, and the young man at once set
off to see if all was right. He ran out
of his hall door, through the hall door
of the flats, which was open, and so up
to the first floor, where he found Miss
Gilchrist's door shut. He rang three
times, without an answer From within,
however, he heard a sound which he com
pared to the bteaking of sticks He im
agined. therefore, that the servant girl
was within, and that she was engaged
in household duties.
THE MAID EXPLAINS.
After waiting for a minute or two, he
seems to have convinced himself that all
was right. He, therefore, descended again
and returned to his sisters, who persuaded
him to go up once more to the flat.
This he did. and rang for the fourth time.
As he was standing with his hand upon
the bell, straining his ears and hearing
nothing, some one approached up the
stairs from below. It was the young
servant maid. Helen I<ambie, returning
from her errand. The two held counsel
for a moment. Young Adams described
the noise which had been heard Lambie
said that the pulleys of the clothes lines
in the kitchen must have given way.
It. was a singular explanation, since
the kitchen was not above the dining
room of the Adamses, and one would not
expect any great noise from the fall of a
cord which suspended sheets or towels
However, it was a moment of agitation,
and the girl may have said the first ex
planation which came into her head She
lhen put her keys Into the two safety
locks and opened the door
At this point there is a curious little
discrepancy of evidence laimble is pre

pared to swear that she remained upon
the mat beside young Adams. Adams is
equally' positve that she walked several
paces down the hall. This hall was lit by
a gas jet which, turned half up. and
shining through a colored shade, gave
a sufficient, but not a brilliant, light.
Says Adams: "I stood at the door on
the threshold, half in and half out, and
just when the girl got past the clock to
go into the kitchen, a well dressed man
appeared. 1 did not suspect him, and she
said nothing; and he came up to me quite
pleasantly. I did not suspect anything
wrong for the minute. I thought the
man was going to speak to me till he got
past me, and then I suspected some
thing wrong, and by that time the girl
ran into the kitchen and put the gas
up and said it was all right, meaning her
pulleys. I said: 'Where Is your mis
tress?' and she went into the dining room.
She said: 'Oh! come here!’ 1 just went in
and saw this horrible spectacle."

India has an annual output of coal

per cent of which comes from Bengal.
Whooping cough is the subject of
more quaint superstitions than almost
any other disease. In Northampton
shire it is believed that if a small quan
tity of hair is cut from the nape of the
sick child’s neck, rolled in a piece of
meat, and given to a dog, the whoop
ing cough will be transferred to the
animal. In Cornwall the child is fed
with bread and butter w hich has been
passed three times under the belly of a
piebald horse. In Lancashire they will
still tell you that whooping cough will
never attack a child that has ridden on
a bear.

ra You Can Buy

L Fully Guaranteed.
I ES l===ME=faa ISil I
A full pint, of cough syrup—as much, | ;
na .vou could buy tor .$2.50 —can easily; f
be made at home. You will find nothing I
that takes hold of an obstinate cough |
more quickly, usually ending it inside of I
24 hours. Excellent, too, for croup, 1
whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma, I
hoarseness and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with I
U- pint of warm water, and stir for 2 I
minutes. Put ‘J’i ounces of Pinex (fifty! I
cents’ worth) in a pint bottle, then adet
the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.- K
Take a teaspoonful every one, two og |
three hours.
This is just laxative enough to help |
cure a cough. Also stimulates the apps- |
tite, which is usually upset by a cough. 1
The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on 1
the inflamed membranes is well known.
Pinex is the most valuable concentrated 1
compound of Norwav white pine extract, |
rich in guaiacol and all the natural I
healing pine elements. Other preparas I
tions will not work in this formula.
The. Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is I
now used by thousands of housewives 1
throughout the United States and Can- I
